One has to be singular and sincere on the way of imploring.
One has to embrace troubles.
It is not bravery to run towards Union.
One has to be brave on the day of separation.

No Bottom, No Boundary (9/13/2020)
Love is an ocean which has no bottom, no boundary.
It is an ocean suspended.
Love is the secret of the One
who has no beginning of the beginning.

Hope is one drop of that ocean.
The rest of it is fear of separation.

I am at Peace with Him (11/18/18)

The Dust Raised Up by Words (11/4/18)
Don’t give water to me. I want to be Your thirsty one.
Make me Your lover. Take away my sleep.

The Untied Knot (7/22/18)
The one who ties the untied knot again
is laughing at himself as well as the world.
They talk about union and separation.
But, one cannot be united until he is separated.

Break the Glass of Duality (3/18/18)
Thanks to Union, my soul and your soul have become one.
These souls are exactly the same, so nothing should remain but the one.
Because of bad habits, our souls were born from wind’s fire,
then started blowing in our heads. Continue reading “Break the Glass of Duality (3/18/18)”
One Has to Be Brave (6/18/17)
One has to be alone on the way of imploring.
